does anyone else having problems with ver 1-3 ps2 playing dvd-r backups?

First off I have a version 1 ps2. Nobody but nobody wants to touch those things for an install of a modchip. You have to figure everything into the cost. Even with the cheapest modchip you have to pay for shipping the chip and ps2 out to have it installed and the installation. I seriously doubt many people can put in a modchip on their own without ruining the machine. All sorts of people like to say I put a modchip in on forums like this but how often do you hear someone actually admitting they fried their ps2 because they didn't know what they are doing? Also let's not forget about the people out there that send off their money only to get nothing back or their money was mysteriously lost in the mail. I doubt many will admit to being ripped off. None the less this still happens. And as far as that goes I doubt most people even know that you can burn backup games and play them on a console. But hey what do I know I'm just a newbie and yes I am poor. I have alot more respect for people who actually defend their argument and give facts than just lol at newbies. I think the ability to take a piece of junk and change it into some other useful tool is our greatest asset. Remember apollo13?
